چکیده

We describe a model of utility-based agents that synthesizes information and determines the best way to make decisions in multi-agent systems. In this model, the beliefs are decomposed into two levels. The higher level represents the possible information about the possible worlds. The lower level subsequently estimates a number function for the belief. We also present a decision theory for this kind of beliefs. The Dempster-Shafer theory is used to describe the beliefs in this decision theory. To describe utilities, we introduce a multi-set valued mapping to represent the relationship between action utilities and state partial ignorance .

A novel ranking method based on multi-time information fusion is proposed for intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFSs) and applied to the threat assessment problem, a multi-attribute decision making (MADM) one. This method integrates a designed intuitionistic fuzzy entropy (IFE), the closeness degree of technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS), the decision maker¡¯s (DM¡¯...

Coordination Approach to Find Best Defense Decision with Multiple Possibilities among Robocup Soccer Simulation Team

In 2D Soccer Simulation league, agents will decide based on information and data in their model. Effective decisions need to have world model information without any noise and missing data; however, there are few solutions to omit noise in world model data; so we should find efficient ways to reduce the effect of noise when making decisions. In this article we evaluate some simple solutions whe...
